Patient's question:
The glans is swollen and red. After examination, it is diagnosed as balanitis. What kind of medicine should be applied to the swollen and red glans?Doctor's answer:
This condition may be caused by balanitis. You can clean the affected area with potassium permanganate solution and then apply Bactroban ointment for treatment. If necessary, visit a dermatologist at the hospital for examination to confirm the cause and receive targeted treatment.During the treatment period, it is recommended to pay attention to personal hygiene, frequently clean the penis with warm water, and change underwear often. Abstain from sexual activity. I believe most people are aware of the significant harm balanitis can cause to men, so it is important to seek treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, pay attention to dietary issues—maintain a light diet and avoid foods. Additionally, regular follow-up visits may be necessary if needed.
